Remco de Graaf
Managing Director & co-owner Reshift Digital · Founder Zoom.nl and SkyStatus
Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands
I run Reshift Digital, the largest tech publisher in the Netherlands: Kieskeurig.nl, ID.nl, Review.nl, Zoom.nl, Zoom Academy, Computer Idee and Computer!Totaal. Managing Director and co-owner since September 2026, together with Kevin van Oosteren. My mandate is innovation, AI, content and community. In practice: moving every brand and every workflow to a way of building that I first proved on my own platforms.
The agent thinks, the system enforces. I build production software with domain experts and AI agents as the engineering team, inside guards that live in the path: hooks, breakers, CI gates and database constraints. Claude Code builds, OpenAI Codex reviews as an independent second lab, and a daily two-model audit re-examines every autonomous action. Two platforms run on it today. SkyStatus, a Flying Blue analytics platform with a self-healing fleet of about 100 scheduled lanes behind 90+ registered gates. And the 2026 rebuild of Zoom.nl, the photo community I founded in 2004 and the largest in the Netherlands with 2.5 million photos, live at beta.zoom.nl and taking over zoom.nl in September 2026.
Behind that sit 25 years of building media businesses. Founder of Zoom.nl (120,000+ members) and of two profitable e-learning ventures, Zoom Academy (77,000+ students) and Tech Academy (40,000+). Led the launch of ID.nl, Reshift's most successful site launch. Earlier editor-in-chief at IDG Netherlands (Computer!Totaal, Tips & Trucs, iPhone Magazine), Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief of Focus magazine, which I took from heavy losses to profit in two years, and Editor-in-Chief of Discovery Magazine NL. Trained as a journalist (HU Utrecht, 1998), postgraduate in Higher Management (NCOI, 2009).
